Question

A cup of tea at 60°C is sitting on a table in a room whose temperature is 24°C. Choose the best statement concerning heat flow

Answer 1

1.) Heat will flow from the tea into the air in the room.

Answer 2

Heat will flow from the tea into the air in the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the temperature in the room it is almost impossible that the cup of tea would warm up the room, and the heat from the tea cup will only flow from the tea cup to the air in the room that is at 24º, actually making almost no difference on the temperature of the room, and making it just slightly hotter. But with no considerable change on the room´s temperature.
